Galina Shevchenko
Born 1972 in Moscow, Russia
Lives in Chicago, USA
Works across the mediums of painting, printmaking and video installation.

Galina Shevchenko draws anthropomorphic sensual creatures in her sketchbooks and records with her video camera abstract urban matter, architectural details, lights and glimpses of nature. The two raw visual substances are later processed on the computer: the video is turned into mesmerizing realm of saturated pulsating glow; the drawings are animated into dances of desire and ambivalence. Combining spontaneous line and heavily processed video into infinite loops of sprawling baroque folds and sensual uncertainty , Galina juggles between the new technology and painting, evoking mythological dependencies and emotional permutations.
